With all the news coverage of the US government “shutdown” you would think the sky is falling. In truth about 85% of the US Federal government is still operating normally. I think we would do well to remember that private citizens are what keep everything going, and that government should serve our needs, not the other way around.

We still have to get up and go to work in the morning, pay our bills, take care of our families, and all the other things that life involves on a daily basis. So it goes with health as well. We are the stewards of our own health, and if we do not take care of ourselves, no “healthcare plan” whether private or government run will matter.

#~#~#

Our health is in OUR hands. Always remember that, and you will go a long way towards making sure that you have the health to enjoy your life fully and for a long time! One of the most important aspects of health is how your colon (also called the gut) functions.

Since certain neurotransmitters are actually made in your intestinal tract, “gut health” can affect your emotions, and thinking as well as how you physically feel. So as you can see it’s vitally important to have it functioning optimally!

There are several things we need to get this right. One is the right type and amount of fiber, and the other is probiotic bacteria. Click on the links below to check out my web pages on these two topics.

Health of your stomach and colon is the key to overall health for several reasons. You need to absorb and assimilate your food for the nutrients your body needs. If your GI tract isn’t healthy, you can get needed nutrients from your foods.

The longer the “transit time” it takes for waste to exit the colon, the longer you are exposed to toxins that can create cancerous conditions in the body. Think about it, you wouldn’t keep your garbage in your kitchen for months, you would throw it out as soon as possible, because keeping it around is unsanitary.

The same can be said for eliminating waste from your body. It needs to happen every day, and be as complete as possible. An adequate amount of both soluble and insoluble fiber is essential to this process.

An example of insoluble fiber is Psyllium seed husks. These absorb water and provide a “bulking” effect to waste in the colon.

An example of soluble fiber is fruit like apples which also assist in elimination though stimulation of peristalsis (the process of moving the bowels). By the way, the bowels should be moved at least once per day if not more.

I have heard doctors tell their patients that this is not important. In the case of one gentleman I know, his doctor told him that a bowel movement every few days was “normal” for him. This is incredibly bad medical advice.

I have had good luck with just plain Psyllium husks in water, but of course your experience may be different. Whole grains like oat groats, quinoa, or ground flaxseeds can help provide the fiber that’s beneficial to the colon.

Another factor that’s important is the bacteria that is found in the colon. If it’s the normal beneficial bacteria then you will have normal bowel function, and neither be constipated or suffer from diarrhea.

You can get this beneficial bacteria either from probiotic supplements or dairy products like yogurt or kefir. Commercial yogurts and kefirs lose much of their benefit from pasteurization. While I think the dangers of unpasteurized products are overblown, I can’t advise you to consume them for reasons of liability.

It’s safest to use a probiotic supplement or fermented dairy products as your probiotic source. Those of you who get my newsletter know that I am an advocate of the blood type diet.

When you buy these fermented dairy products, look for ones that advertise that they contain “live cultures.” This indicates they will have sufficient bacteria to be of help to you. Avoid products that contain a lot of sugar, or artificial sweeteners for obvious reasons.

Look for a live-cultured plain yogurt, preferably made from goat milk or a pasture raised cow’s milk. For kefir, the same rules follow. Plain and unsweetened is best, and you can add some berries for natural sweetening to the yogurt or kefir.

Probiotic bacteria is specific to blood type and in the near future I will be delving int that with some specific recommendations. Let’s suffice it to say that for all intents and purposes, the right probiotic foods and supplements for your blood type will result in a normally functioning colon and regular bowel movements.

So if what you are doing results in normal function, then you pretty much have it right!

Now I have something very cool to share with all of you…

Barbara Streisand is possibly the most talented performer that ever graced a stage in any time period. Yes I know that is quite an accolade, but I believe it is well earned.

There is a full concert by the incomparable Barbara Streisand on Youtube, and here is the link:

There’s no time like the present! I know you have heard that before, but until something really hits you you don’t fully understand the meaning of that phrase. I recently got word that a friend of mine who was 52 years of age died suddenly of a heart attack.

The was someone I had not seen for some years, but from the pictures I have seen he looked to be in good health and good spirits. He leaves behind a wife and daughter and many friends who are I am sure just as perplexed as I am by this turn of events.

Life is short, and sometimes unfairly short. It reminds us that we should not let time go by without doing the things we want to do, and making the most of the time we have. This applies in all areas of life, from your work, to your family and social life.

It is always the right time to make positive changes in your health and well being. There are many new tools available to help you, some of which I will be reviewing here.
However don’t be afraid to get out there and start, because you will never learn until you take the first steps. You have to make mistakes before you can correct them and learn from them.

Success if nothing more than a process of doing things, learning, and making corrections when needed. You continually refine the processes you use until you get to the point where you are producing consistent results time after time. Promoting good health is a series of corrections you make to your diet, exercise and approach to stress.

Eventually you will learn exactly what your body and mind need to be in optimal health. You can be moving toward better health even as you age, if you are willing to learn and apply what you learn in real time.

Every weightlifter, bodybuilder, and powerlifter knows and understands the value of squats. The squat exercise is hundreds and perhaps even thousands of years old. Humans have been squatting both as exercise and as a functional movement pattern as long as there have been humans on the Earth.

The exercise is probably the single most effective for building strength and health. Why would this be? Well, it’s partly because the legs are the foundation of the body and of our overall body strength.

The other reason is that squats positively affect the autonomic nervous system, which is the part of our nervous system that is involved with digestion, elimination, rest, and regeneration. This is probably the reason they are such effective muscle builders.

But they have benefits for everyone young and old alike. I began doing squats when I was 14 years old and still continue to do them to this day! As a result, I can maintain a stable weight and flat stomach at age 58 with very little effort.

The muscle I have built using squats and other functional exercises allows me to easily keep excess weight off and maintain a foundation of strength without long or frequent workouts.

Hindu wrestlers in India did hundreds of squats a day which they called Hindu squats or “bethaks.” The tremendous conditioning effect of this exercise allowed the Hindu wrestlers to easily defeat the best wrestlers in Europe and the world over.

This video clip will show you how to do “freehand” squats (without weights).

I would suggest that you do this exercise 2-3 times per week to start, and perform 3 sets of 5-10 repetitions. Always start very conservatively with these because they are VERY demanding on your system.

As you go along, you will get a feel for how often you can do them and how much is too much. I can tell you from experience that no other exercise will give you the benefits that the Hindu squat will.

They will help everything from weight control to health enhancement. You may even find they are helpful if you have a problem with regularity because again, they affect the “parasympathetic nervous system” which controls the bowels.

or even a dumbbell or barbell plate held in your hands. There are lots of variations of the basic squat movement that you can explore but start with the simple basic squat first and master that.

Then you can improvise and be as creative as you want with how often you do them, how many repetitions, ect. You can even combine them with other exercises in a circuit type routine because they will make ANY exercise routine more demanding and effective.

Add squats in some form to your exercise routine and you will be amazed at the benefits you will get from this simple and ancient exercise!

OK…on a more relaxing note…

This weeks musical clip features Lea Salonga in a medley of songs”

“Something Wonderful” and “Being Alive”

Lea Salonga is a Filipina singer that I just discovered. Honestly, I had not heard of her before, but I am absolutely blown away by her beauty and artistic talent!

As I sit here in the middle of June, it is a comfortable 65 degrees in Somerville, and while I am not complaining, I don’t remember it being this cool so late in the season when I was a kid.

I honestly think we are entering an era of cooler weather, but then again, it’s hard to tell. I like the fact that I haven’t even put my air conditioners in yet…it’s been that comfortable. I do hope it continues, although I am sure we will be in for some sweltering days soon.

#~#~#

I’d like to mention a few things I think are important in the area of health and wellness. These are things that if you do them, you will have 80-90% of the health issues covered. For those that want to do 100%, that’s great, but start with the basics.

With that said here are three things you should do to live longer, and healthier.

~

Get enough vitamin-d in winter and summer. Vitamin-d is not really a vitamin, it’s a hormone called cholcalciferol. It’s used in many critical processes in your body, and if you don’t get enough of it your risk for things like cancer and heart disease go up!

People of African ancestry that live in cooler climates are especially vulnerable to deficiencies in vitamin-d because their darker skin filters out the UV light the body needs to bio-synthesize this critical hormone.

Processed foods are largely a form of refined sugar, since they are mostly grain products that break down rapidly in your blood stream, spiking your blood sugar and insulin levels which in turn aggravate inflammation and promote chronic disease.

~

I think that grounding or “Earthing” should be a very important part of your daily routine. Think of grounding as receiving antioxidants from the Earth all of the time you are grounded, and you will see why this practice is so important.

Grounding helps you establish the proper electromagnetic balance in your body, which protects you from free radical damage and slows down the aging process. There is probably no single thing that is more beneficial to you than grounding.

~

You might wonder why I didn’t mention things like getting enough sleep, and exercise, but truthfully, if you do the above 3 things, you will likely be able to sleep a lot better. As far as exercise, most people do it incorrectly and that can have negative results.

Exercise has two real benefits, that it controls blood sugar, and helps maintain muscle and bone density. If you avoid sugar, and get into the habit of grounding every day, this will go a long way toward controlling blood sugar.

It will also help maintain the function of your endocrine glands, which produce the anabolic hormones that maintain your muscle tissue. So all exercise really does is to signal your hormonal system to produce certain hormones.

Don’t get me wrong, exercise (if done right) is still valuable, but if you do the other things mentioned, you will remain HEALTHY and ACTIVE for all of your life, and thus will be getting your exercise in the process, and that’s the key!

#~#~#

Do you have a disease, or other medical condition that you or someone close to you is suffering from that you would like me to research and write about? Then please let me know. I can’t give medical advice because I am not a doctor.

But I CAN research things and look for the most cutting edge information and research on that topic and present it to you and everyone who reads this newsletter. Our knowledge is advancing rapidly, and I am here to report on the very latest on health, wellness, and anti-aging for everyone who reads this newsletter!

So if you have questions, or comments, please share them with me. I love hearing from you!

Age Better Newsletter – Issue #12- January 3rd, 2013
Published by George Parigian Jr. for Opted-in Subscribers

Hello,

Happy New Year! This weeks topic is heavyhands, exercise, and weight loss…

For some odd reason I’m optimistic about the coming year despite the unlucky “13” aspect of it. I have some things I really want to accomplish this year and I know you do too.

My hope is that I can share some things with you that will help you move forward with your goals and plans whatever they may be. Health is key in all of this, and I will have some really cool stuff to share with you during the coming year.

Exercise resolutions are usually part of the New Year, but I am going to share some revelations with you about exercise that may really surprise you. Just remember in all this that in order to make it effective, you need to know just what you are trying to achieve.

To be effective, exercise should be intense and brief. The way exercise affects your hormonal system is the key. Long slow exercise raises levels of the stress hormone (cortisol) that tends to make you fatter. Hard to believe, but it’s true.

Brief and intense exercise has a positive effect on your hormone system, which results in fat burning and building of lean muscle tissue. For weight loss purposes all you need is about 15 minutes 3 times per week of brief intense exercise.

“Heavyhands” is a book that will show you how you can accomplish this and why it will work for you. It’s been out for a few years but still a great book and just as current as the day it was written!

Using this concept and following an “interval training protocol” I lost 10 lbs in two weeks with no dieting, and about 11.25 minutes of actual exercise (when you subtract rest periods) per session. This equals about 33.75 minutes of actual exercise per week!

“Heavyhands” will explain how having your hands weighted allows you to burn a lot more calories than you otherwise would. But it’s not just the calories you burn while exercising, it’s the boost in your metabolic rate that will have you burning more calories even when you are sacking out on the couch!

All the information you need to make this happen is in the book. Sound good? Then pick up a copy and start losing those pounds you have wanted to shed so badly!

Now…I have some bragging to do. I attended the Boston Ballet production of the “Nutcracker” last week for the very first time and had the pleasure of watching my cousin Remy Anne in this time honored performance.

This was a very enjoyable show that seemed amazingly short to me, perhaps because it immerses you in that holiday fantasy world of dancing toy soldiers, princes and princesses, and of course “The Nutcracker.”

Remy is a pre-professional student at the Boston Ballet and she graced the stage as one of the Marzipan Shepherds. Although only time will tell, I believe she has the talent, passion, and perseverance to become a prima ballerina!

Remy comes from an artistic family, as her dad is an actor and her grandfather was a former professor at the Mass College of Art. They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I am proud of my cousin and it’s wonderful to see her develop into a great dancer.

If you have a chance to catch this wonderful show in your location, don’t hesitate, and of course it goes without saying that this is 100% OK for the youngest kids out there. They will love it for sure!

#~#~#

After attending the afternoon performance of the Nutcracker, we caught “The Hobbit” in IMAX. I have never read any of Tolkien’s books, but have seen the ring trilogy and now the Hobbit.

This is a very enjoyable film, as it really immerses you in the fantasy world of “Middle Earth.” For me a good movie should draw you into the story and cause you to make an emotional connection to the characters.

“The Hobbit” did that for me and left me wanting more, just what a feature film should do. This is a film for all ages, although some scenes may be a bit rough for really young children.

Directed by Peter Jackson, and featuring a number of great actors like Hugo Weaving, Cate Blanchette, Christopher Lee, Elijah Wood, and Ian McKellan as Gandalf reprised their roles.

This film ran nearly 3 hours, but seemed short to me. It was THAT engaging, and for me, this is what it’s all abut, that when film ends you very much want the story to go on, and it does, but that will be left to the sequels!

This film scored at rating of 8.4 from IMDb.com, which pretty much says it all!

Winter can be tough on skin, with drying, windburn, and cold temperatures if you live in the northern latitudes. Remember that hydration is also important, and often you don’t get as thirsty as in summer, but you still need to drink plenty of water.

Use lip balms, and face creams to prevent against windburn and chapping. NaPCA by Twinlab is a great choice especially with added aloe to keep your skin hydrated. Remember to dress extra warmly as well, because:

heat loss=energy loss=lowered immunity from colds and flu!

I am working on what I call a “cold weather solution” but frankly there is not much research in this area for me to draw on. I will however have a recommendation for winter stress in the next newsletter, I just have to do some digging though before I can actually suggest something I am comfortable recommending to you, so stay tuned…

#~#~#

Once again, thank you for listening, and there will be another newsletter heading your
way next Thursday. Look for it in your inbox, and please don’t hesitate to
write with your questions or comments.

I hope you enjoyed Christmas with your friends and family over good food and some wished for gifts. I never made it to my destination thanks to a broken transmission linkage in my car, so here I am completely alone writing this issue of the newsletter.

Each year seems like it feels just a little less like “Christmas,” and I wish we could somehow recapture the original Christmas spirit, when everything felt special and magical.

I keep thinking that somewhere there is a place where Christmas still feels like…well…Christmas! I’d love to find it….IF it exists. Of course..it goes without saying that I will tell you all about it when I do!

#~#~#

I wanted to say a few things about the “Eat Right for Your Type” diet also known as the “blood type diet” by Dr. Peter D’Adamo. Of all the diet concepts out there, I feel it has had the biggest impact on my health and how I feel on a daily basis. Let me tell you why.

I didn’t use it to lose weight, as I am usually trying to keep my weight up not down. I use it to lower the level of inflammation ( and the pain it causes) in my body. For this the blood type diet has worked VERY well for me.

Most diets focus on changing eating patterns, the type of foods and the amount you eat. They don’t take your blood type into consideration. Dr. D’Adamo’s approach focuses on finding foods that are compatible with your blood type and immune system.

When foods clash with your blood type, your immune system reacts with inflammation. It effects your muscles, joints, and nervous system. I believe this is part of how you become chronically ill as you get older.

The blood type diet gives you lists of food that are beneficial, neutral, or negative for your blood type. By knowing your blood type and avoiding foods that cause problems for your type, you can rid yourself of a lot of pain and inflammation.

I am not fanatical about following it, (you don’t have to be) but I have gotten to know what foods set me off and generally avoid them. By doing this, I can honestly say I have less pain on a daily basis than I had in my 30′s!

I can now ( at age 57) go and work out even in the dead of winter with hardly any warmup, and not have a problem. Bear in mind that I couldn’t do that even in my 20′s and 30′s. I always had to do an extensive warmup or I couldn’t work out.
Those days are gone! I just don’t need the long warmups any more, because the pain is not there like when I was younger. The blood type diet concept just ROCKS!!!

This is probably the most useful diet book you will ever read, and I can’t recommend it enough. I used to take Advil like candy just to be able to work out. That was 25 years ago. I no longer use it and I feel fine, even in the cold weather.

Do yourself a huge favor and check out Dr. D’Adamo’s book at this link:

There’s a new trend in medicine called anti-aging and functional medicine. This is different than regular medicine where they wait until you get sick or have a problem then treat the symptoms with prescription drugs.

Antiaging medicine assumes that you can indeed slow down aging and live better longer. More and more doctors are entering this field because they say they have more satisfaction actually getting at the root cause of sickness and helping people get well.

I have lists of these doctors on my website, and you can start your search for an antiaging
and wellness oriented doctor at these links:

I add to these lists as I get more information. The ranks of these doctors are growing rapidly and there is likely one in your area if you are interested in checking them out!

New Years is almost here and it’s the time when people make resolutions. One of the most common is starting an exercise program. I think you know how long that usually lasts!

Most people get exercise wrong, in that they do too much, and what they actually do is not “quality” exercise. In this case, less is more, and if you do it right, you will be able to keep going with your exercise program, because it won’t be really hard.
Believe it or not, I once lost 10 lbs in two weeks with no dieting and exercising for something like 10 minutes 3 times a week. The interesting part about it was that I wasn’t even trying to lose weight, it just happened.

I’ll talk more about this next week and tell you exactly what I did and how I did it. I will explain the physiology behind effective exercise and how you should do it for the best results. This time you will be able to stick with your New Years resolution!

Thank you for reading. Another issue of “Age Better” is headed your way next Thursday. Look for it in your in-box, and please write to me with your questions or comments.

This holiday season has really been dampened by the terrible tragedy that unfolded in Connecticut. I can’t fathom somebody doing such terrible things to innocent children. The only consolation is that we will be determined find a way to prevent these things from happening in the future! My heart goes out to the families of the children and teachers.

Yet there is still so much good in the world, and there are people everywhere who act with kindness and compassion toward others. A recent phone conversation with my sister confirmed this fact.

She told me that my nephew Andrew, who is a police office was going on a trip to Virginia, and when I asked why, she told me that he and a group of officers from Massachusetts were going to visit a young boy with terminal brain cancer.

This youngster had dreamed of becoming a police officer when he grew up, and sadly he will not likely get that chance. His wish was to be visited by police officers and they are going down there to comfort and honor him.

They will make him an honorary police officer, give him a badge with his name on it, and present the family with donations they have collected. I have never been prouder of my nephew, who has matured into a caring and compassionate man.

#~#~#

I have a couple of suggestions for protecting yourself from colds and flu during the winter months. I use these items myself as needed. All these things are natural, safe, and I have found them very effective.

Liposomal vitamin-c: This is vitamin-c bound to a fat molecule (hence the name liposomal) which makes it much more bio-available to your body and easily absorbed. It’s supposed to be as effective as inter-venous vitamin-c, which is pretty darn impressive.

It is currently being researched as a potential form of treatment for cancer and has shown some impressive results by enhancing immunityand detoxifying cells.

As safe as vitamin-c is, there are certain people who should not use vitamin-c supplements unless they get their doctor’s ok.

People with hemochromatosis which is a condition where iron builds up in their bodies People G6PD syndrome, which is an enzyme deficiency People with kidney problems or those getting dialysis treatments People on blood thinners like Coumadin or Warfarin

#~#~#

The second item I use mostly on infections is colloidal silver. Again this works very well because bacteria can’t become resistant to it. You can find it in most health food stores and for more info check out my web page on it.

I have used this on some intense infections and it always works quickly and completely. The only side effect I have noticed is a slight bit of constipation, which depends on the dosage and how long I use it.

With that said, I would caution that you always see a doctor for anything above a slight infection, as they can be dangerous. No product I recommend is meant to substitute for proper medical treatment. Rather they can be helpful for minor things, and also for more serious things when used in addition to standard medical treatment.

So….bottom line, if you are really sick, don’t just self medicate, always see a doctor to be on the safe side!

#~#~#

Ok, here comes another movie review, and if you are wondering why I talk about older films, it’s because they made a strong and positive impression on me. These types of movies engage you on an emotional level which I think is the key to a great film.

I’m not saying that there aren’t any current movies that are good, but it seems (in my hallowed opinion -:D). Hollywood is cranking out a lot of films without real substance these days, in that they don’t connect with the audience on an emotional level.

With that said, I recommend you check out “Antwon Fisher.” The movie stars Derek Luke in the title role, Denzel Washington as the psychiatrist, and Joy Bryant as Fisher’s supportive girlfriend.

The screenplay was written by the real Antwon Fisher, and based on his book “Finding Fish.” In the film Antwon who was given up for adoption by his drug dependent mother endures physical, sexual, and verbal abuse while in foster care.

His anger problems while in the navy bring him to the attention of a caring psychiatrist played wonderfully by Denzel Washington. In the film Antwon must overcome his inner rage, and with the help of his girlfriend seeks and is reunited with his extended family.

The scene where he meets his extended family for the first time is quite an emotional moment and will have you reaching for the Kleenex once again. Fine performances all around by the actors in this film, which is also Denzel Washington’s directorial debut.

Since this newsletter IS about antiaging, I will be delving into that topic more intensely in the new year, and evaluating some products that actually DO have the ability to slow or even reverse SOME aspects of aging.

Remember that antiaging is not about being immortal or living hundreds of years, it’s really being proactive about your health, so you can enjoy your life and loved ones fully for many years to come. That’s what it’s all about, and YES it is very possible to do this!

I will be sharing some outstanding items with you in the weeks and months ahead, so stay with me.

I will leave you with a favorite quote of a good friend that is originally attributed to Theodore Parker, but also used by Martin Luther King.

“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

Thanks for reading, and there will be another newsletter heading your

way next Thursday. Look for it in your in-box, and please don’t hesitate to

Hi, my name is George Parigian Jr. and this is my very first issue of the
Age Better Newsletter.

What’s “Age Better?” This is my online journal in which I will share my
adventures, opinions, and discoveries!

I am a 57 year old personal trainer and former national champion in
Powerlifting. Like you, I’m searching for ways to live longer, healthier,
and happier and as I find them, I will pass them along to you.

I’d like to invite you, through the pages of this newsletter, to share with me
the adventure which is life. I have lots to show you! I will delve into some
pretty exotic subjects, but always with the intention of providing information
which will be of value to you.

Hey…I don’t claim to be a genius or some kind of guru. I am only human
(much as I hate to admit it) like everyone else, and have many of the same
problems that you do. However I really believe there are fixes out there
for some of the things that many people think can’t be fixed, and I love
researching and finding solutions to these problems.

My ultimate goal is to understand why we age and actually be able to stop
or reverse this process. Is this a delusion or fantasy on my part? No….we
are learning more every day, and so much of what used to be a mystery is
now becoming clearer. I will have some interesting information for you
going forward that will very likely surprise you.

Over the years I’ve learned that it’s important to listen not just talk,
because you never know when someone may give you an insight into
something important that you hadn’t thought of yourself. It’s happened to
me many times! I will be honest with you at all times.

When I know something for a fact, I will say so. When I am not sure, I will
admit that too. The beginning of knowledge is admitting that you don’t
know something, and understanding that you should never be
embarrassed to ask questions. It’s through asking questions that we learn.

I will be sharing with you the results of over 25 years of searching for
ways to promote better health and longevity. I will also delve into the
subjects of personal development and Internet marketing as well. In the
new millennium we will all have to adjust our thinking and efforts to find
new ways to prosper.

The Internet provides many new and expanding opportunities to make
money and live life on our own terms. As I learn and master new skills and
acquire new knowledge, I will share it with you through the pages of this
newsletter.

I hope to pass on as much value as I possibly can.

I will be mentioning various products and services to you over time. Some
of these products will be ones that I have an affiliate relationship with
(meaning that I earn a commission when someone buys them), and some
will not.

Any product I recommend will be something I have purchased and tried
myself so that I can make a fair and accurate review of it’s good points
and bad points.

I promise that I will never promote ANYTHING unless I feel that it is a
good value for the money. My credibility (and your trust) is important to
me and I will never compromise that. I will NOT barrage you with a
constant stream of product offers and promotions.

I will only present things that will help you solve problems and live better.
Also please note that your email information will NEVER be shared with a
third party. I value your trust and will ensure your privacy!

Lastly, I need your help! Yes….your feedback, criticism (please make it
constructive), and questions are all welcome. Please remember that I am
but one man, and have only so much time, but I WILL try very hard to
respond within a reasonable period of time, to your questions when you
ask them.

My goal is to make this newsletter more interesting and relevant to all of
you, and your input will help me to do that. Thank you for reading my
newsletter. Another one will be coming to your in box next week so please
watch for it.
